Driven by a passion for connecting 'suits & sneakers', Vincent van Herk (Eindhoven, 1973) is a sharp strategist who identifies and orchestrates collaborations that drive the design field forward—bridging the gap between creative innovators, cultural partners, and corporate sectors. Since joining Dutch Design Foundation in 2018, he has built a powerful legacy within the organization. Having successfully served as Head of Dutch Design Week & Dutch Design Awards, he stepped into his current strategic role in April 2025 to spearhead global development.
Vincent excels in community engagement and is highly skilled at initiating and driving substantive partner programmes. Focusing on high-impact, complementary partnerships on both a national and international level, he continuously creates meaningful connections between talented creators and leading organizations.
Extending his impact beyond design, Vincent also serves on the board of a regional theater and acts as a strategic programmemanager for regional UNESCO heritage projects.
